Luxury Holidays to Nashville

Beyond its iconic country roots, Nashville harmoniously celebrates all musical genres which it proudly showcases in the 180 live music venues dotted around the city. Nashville is one of the true high notes of American popular culture and continues to draw tourists to its legendary concert venues to this day.

And it’s this interesting contrast that makes for a diverse range of Nashville hotels for the luxury traveller to choose from. As you'd expect, the Kenwood Travel USA team partner directly with the city’s top hoteliers, and have lined up their favourites for you to browse and book at great prices.

Things to do on holiday in Nashville

Offering a symphony of attractions that celebrate its storied musical heritage, music really is the common thread connecting the life and soul of the city and its people. A mixture of music’s past, present and future with cuts of country, bluegrass, rock, pop, Americana, gospel, classical, jazz and blues - you really will be spoilt for choice.

But for those on a country music pilgrimage, you really are spoilt for choice.

Head east of downtown to find the Grand Ole Opry House where the Grand Ole Opry still plays 3 times a week.

Music scene aficionados will find lots of great honky tonk bars and clubs in downtown Nashville, especially around the Second Avenue, Lower Broadway and Printer's Alley neighbourhoods, otherwise known as ‘the District’. Free to enter and with multiple floors of different genres, you could spend a whole evening there!

For those looking for something different? Immersive yourself in the dynamic sports scene, shopping, museums, history and art scene, so finding something you love will be easy.

There’s more to Nashville than just downtown and each neighbourhood comes with its own distinct personality and character to explore.

South of downtown lies a once abandoned industrial area now thriving with boutique hotels, murals, breweries and diverse culinary offerings named The Gulch. Berry Hill is perfect for those looking for a quirky vibe to enjoy whilst browsing through independent shops and restaurants.

Take to the water and get a new perspective on the city on one of plenty of Cumberland River cruise options. The most famous being the General Jackson Showboat lunch or dinner cruise; a rite of passage for any Nashville newbie.
